Inflation, Recession, and Regulation: The Triple Threat to Community Banks
Welcome to today's episode of Banking on Growth. We are excited to have Chris Furlow, President and CEO of the Texas Bankers Association, joining us. With a long history of leadership in the banking industry, Chris brings a wealth of experience and insight, especially when it comes to advocating for community banks. Chris shares how the TBA navigates the complex regulatory landscape while also creating an environment that fosters business growth. From reducing unnecessary hurdles to proposing constructive ideas, the association is a driving force in improving the business environment for community banks. We’ll hear firsthand how advocacy isn’t just about lobbying—it’s about fighting for policies that allow banks to continue supporting families, small businesses, and local economies.
Chris also touches on the shifting economic landscape, discussing how the pandemic, inflation, and rising interest rates have impacted the banking industry, particularly community banks. With thousands of pages of new regulations, the challenges facing the sector are significant. But, as Chris explains, the Texas Bankers Association is working tirelessly to ensure that the banking industry remains strong, vibrant, and most importantly, aligned with the needs of the communities it serves.
